I just purchased another Ugly Stick. This pole was made in China. I will return it because I refuse to support the unfair advantage that the undercompensated labor presents to the American labor force. How long have ugly sticks been made in China? what do I buy to replace it? 6'6" medium duty, for catfish

If you are going to return the fishing rod because it is made in China what will you replace it with. 90 percent of all rods are made in China or one of it's neighbouring countries.Ed

I would say to buy a St. Croix fishing Rod. The rods are made in the US at the northern end of Wisconsin. They are of high quality. Before I started flyfishing I was not sure what to buy until I came across a St. Croix rod. Good luck, God bless and fish well.

WHAT is wrong with you ? Don't you know that you will never find a rod like ugly sticks, DO what they say if you break it send it back and get a new one, I have send back three of them because they broken on me I got a new one every time , I couldn't go catfishing with out my ugly sticks and I do a lot of catfishing, THEY are good rod and in the price range where most good rod's cost to much then you don't have the diffent size they have,name one rod company offen same thing.

Go buy another Ugly Stick. You're fishing because you like to fish not because you want to support the USA. Ugly Sticks are a great pole. I have three! Happy fishing...

i think you are right china have there hands in evere thing so y send it back keep it and go fishing and get a big one

I've got a couple, and I haven't had them break yet, I've broken alot of poles, they are extremly durable tough poles. Seems that every time I buy something fishing it always has the words made in China on it. Even the old names like mitchell and garcia are saying it.
